No problem, John.
Now, for anyone who's been having difficulties with posting clips:
Here's a short guide on how to post an attachment. And if you want to post an excerpt of a track you need to use an audio editing software. The one I use is Audacity. It's free and fairly easy to use. Once you open the track in it, you have to highlight the desired part with your mouse, click File, click Export The Highlighted Part as MP3 and save it on your HDD. Then you have to log on this thread and post it as an attachment. Hope this helps.
If you don't mind, I'll post one for all to enjoy (I hope).
The question is - who's singing?

That's correct, Stu! It's Dizzy. Comes from the album Sonny Side Up.
Stu, I believe the file you're referring to is lame_enc.dll. I forgot to tell you about it. It's a free codec you have to download in order to get Audacity working. Just look it up on google. Once you've downloaded it, move it to the Audacity folder and then everything should be working fine. Good luck!
Would you like to post the next clip?

Mat. I am posting another file just to make double sure that I remembered how on earth I managed to do the last one!
Who is the tenor man on this one?

No, not Tyner. He is known for the use of electric instruments, especially Rhodes Piano. He's also a Scientologist.
Now, your track. I'd go with Billy Eckstine.
-----------------------------------------------
One more thing about posting a clip. Some of the MP3 tracks might have an ID3 metadata container. It basiaclly means that some of the files store info such as preformer, genre or title in themselves. Thus, when I opened your second file in my music player, an additional ID3 info appeared telling me it was Warne Marsh on tenor.
To avoid this kind of situation in the future, here's what you have to do: After you've extracted a file in Audacity, you have to click Project and then Edit ID3. In a new window you can see the ID3 info for the track. You have to delete it. You can also replace it with a title that won't give out crucial info, like who's playing. It's our job to guess it.
Hope my attempt to explain it was clear enough.

OK, seeing as no one else is showing interest in guessing who the trombonist from Stu's track is, I will take another shot.
Stu, I've got to tell you I'm clueless on this one, because I don't really know many jazz trombonists, so I hope I won't be making a complete fool of myself by saying Curtis Fuller?
